Introduction

This meeting has been designed for the presentation and discussion of recent scientific results on mechanisms involved in regulation of ovarian, uterine and placental function for appropriate reproduction. Internationally recognized scientists will provide the latest insights in experiments on knockout mice and on cell and molecular biological experiments to elucidate the complex events of reproduction.

The understanding of molecular mechanisms of hormonal control of the uterine and ovarian differentiation will emerge new therapy concepts for reproductive tract dysfunction. To reach most effective discussions the conference will be organized similar to a Gordon conference and should give in particular younger scientists the chance to present and discuss their results in an extendend and well presented poster session.

Early summer of the year 2011 and the beautiful island Frauenchiemsee will set the inspiring frame for this international meeting on the female reproductive tract.
